Senior Lecturer and Course coordinator in Nutritional Sciences

 

I passionately believe that the realities of our contemporary world and its challenges and problems make marine and food science two of the most important areas within all of the sciences.

The course units that I design and teach and my research are deeply intertwined. I have a keen interest in the mapping of mid-atlantic cod stocks and I have done groundbreaking research and published widely in this area.

I enjoy adopting a creative and innovative approach to teaching at undergraduate and postgraduate level. My course units include seminars with invited experts from the food industry and study visits to organisations such as the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Food Standards Agency.

I am planning to retire in September 2022.
